IAC got 13 million last year, X Factor was much lower, Corrie is normally around 7

[Marsh.]

13 million?

Why is it so popular? It was entertaining for like the first 6 years.

I thought BB was stale but IAC is in desperate need of a revamp.

I think it's because (definitely everybody on my Facebook) are like 'omg ant and dec, pisssaaaaaaaa'

Yeah it's their highest rated, X-Factor is a far cry from what it used to be. I don't think I can even name the past 2 winners

[Jamesy]

To be fair X-Factor is just as stale and that still gets massive viewing figures. Quite depressing when Big Brother is just on par with them being crap yet has bugger all viewers.

I still enjoy I'm a Celeb, although it really needs a shake-up and some format changes. A completely new camp design would be a start, the past few years the camp has been pretty much identical with no change. No split camps/camp 1 vs camp 2, we've had that for god knows how long and it's so boring to see. The trials get repetitive too, although after 12 years you can't blame them too much on that since it's limited in that respect.

Sadly because figures are so high for the show they will do nothing to change it. Only when figures drop will they be arsed to make changes.

as if they wont present it though.. like what else have they got to do?

I've always thought, Big Brother was one of the top reality shows back in its day and now it gets next to nothing, how have X-Factor and I'm A Celeb managed to maintain such a high viewing audience (and manged to pick up even more viewers in I'm A Celeb's case, yet Big Brother can barely manage 2 million viewers!)

I'd rathered Joey Essex had've won and that kills me to say that as I hate the TOWIE contestants on these shows, but Kian was just a whiny bore.

The only decent contestants from that series was Matthew Wright and David Emanuel that I can remember from that series.

Vincent and Steve...

[JoshBB]

That would be a hilarious series having them two in the jungle.

Come to think of it. I'm quiet surprised that Big Brother never received higher or similar ratings than I'm A Celeb and X Factor back in the golden era of the show.
From BB1-BB7, the show roughly averaged around 4.5M every series, with the exception of BB3 and BB5, which averaged over 5M. But those ratings are still miniscule compared to the 10-13M that ITV shows get, even back when BB was successful I'm A Celeb was far superior in ratings.

Makes me think that Big Brother was never as popular in the first place, but seems like it was when compared to the diminutive 1.5M ratings we get nowadays.

The thing that confuses me most is the reason why BB ratings crashed after CBB5.
The ratings went from 4.6M to 3.6M in two years, then decreased to 1.6M three years later, loosing 3M in four years. Surely those 3M people were not all offended by Shilpagate?

At least it gets over 1M these days, and pretty close to the 2M mark. Although BB14 was extremely close to reaching 2M, all it needed was a higher rated final, I reckon and it would of hit 2M. Shows that we need good series like BB14 for ratings to increase, hence why BB15 dropped the ratings by almost half a million.

It's because of its reputation, it's just the 'trashy' show, and it has been since BB3, although occasionally the press obsession got people tuning in. It has too many 'bad series' and not enough 'good series' to balance out the reputation, and unlike I'm A Celebrity, doesn't have the 'hilarious presenters or tasks'.

Could not tell you

[LukeB]

I can't remember who won last year

[Liam-]

Attraction won last year and Collabro won this year

Even though I dislike the majority of BGT, I keep watching in the hope that something goes drastically wrong on the live shows.

[Marsh.]

And the most that goes wrong is Simon Cowell getting egged.

I pray for the day than an audience member gets clocked with a stray ball during a horrendous juggling act, or Amanda Holden gets mauled by a pissed off cat after Simon buzzes it
